Kerry's & Bush tax returns, who's rich?

"President Bush reported $822,126 in adjusted gross income for last year, on which he paid $227,490 in federal income taxes - or about 28 percent, according to the president's federal returns released Tuesday by the White House." "$68,360 to churches and charitable organizations"

"In 2003, Sen. John Kerry had $395,000 in taxable income and paid $90,575 in federal income taxes. Kerry had $43,735 in charitable contributions."

23 percent

And the Cheney's:

"They reported $1.3 million in adjusted gross income and owed $253,067 in federal taxes." "The couple donated $321,141 to charity in 2003, mostly in royalties from the sales of Mrs. Cheney's books, "America: A Patriotic Primer,""A is for Abigail" and soon-to-be-out "Fifty States."
20 percent

I think this does two things. Knocks out the whole "Kerry is rich and Bush is a man of the people" nonsense. And shows the REAL tax rate wealthy people pay.

blah blah ketchup blah blah ranch in Texas blah blah God blah.

The report on the Cheneys is especially disturbing.

I am getting damn sick of this "the rich are overtaxed" and "they pay more than their fair share" bullshit.

You would think this would shed some light on things, but the people of this fucking country just don't give a shit.

It's easier to listen to the fascist bullshit that Hannity spews and the drug-induced lies that Limbaugh comes up with.
